PV800
With its Boston-built 12-inch (300mm)
woofer and 300-watt amplifier, the
PV800 is a powerful answer to those
seeking the best bass reproduction for
their home entertainment system.
The down-firing driver features DCD™
(Deep Channel Design) technology.
Using Finite Element Analysis com-
puter modeling to optimize the driver's
magnetic structure, we cut a groove in
the poleplate, increasing voice coil ex-
cursion, while maintaining the driver's
high efficiency. The result is a driver
that can move a large volume of air for
high output and low distortion, without
bottoming out.
The amplifier has both speaker- and
line-level inputs for complete hookup
flexibility. A variable crossover control
makes it easy to blend the PV800 with
any speakers, and a crossover-bypass
position is provided for use with digital
home theater electronics.
PV400
The PV400 delivers powerful, articu-
late bass performance that's hard to
believe from a such compact enclosure.
With a footprint of just 10 x 11 inches
(255 x 280mm), this trim unit fits
almost anywhere. It's the perfect solu-
tion to getting big bass when space is at
a premium.
Using a Boston-built 7-inch (180mm)
DCD driver in a dual-bandpass enclo-
sure, the PV400 responds strongly down
to 44Hz (-3dB), giving music and mov-
ies a solid, satisfying foundation. Its
65-watt high-current amplifier has
speaker, line, and crossover-bypass
connections. The dual 2-inch (50mm)
down-firing ports are flared at both ends
to reduce audible turbulence.
The PV400 may not have the same bass
extension as our other subs, but in terms
of clean, powerful output and lack of
audible distortion, it's pure Boston.
